Wake Forest University Health Sciences (Wake Forest School of Medicine)

For the second year, cancer communities will come together as one for a unique event in support and solidarity for each other.

The World Cancer Walk  is a global effort to support cancer patients, survivors, and their families as well as raise money towards cancer research. It is a not-for-profit platform, with all proceeds going directly to the various partnered cancer charities. No administration fee is taken for the facilitation of this platform.

The event is a world 24 hour walk with participants from over 200 cities. Each city will be given a one hour time slot to go on a walk, and the combination of these hours around the world will equal one full 24 hour day. It will be a 24 hour ‘relay’ spanning almost all times zones across the world. All proceeds will go towards seven different cancer charities who are based in different cities around the world.

Our Walk Festivities will take place from 11am-3pm on January 9, 2022.
We will join the walk from 12noon -1pm EST.
Please Join Us at  Creekside Park in Archdale, NC
Address: 214 Park Drive,  Archdale, NC 27263

The World Cancer Walk is a grassroots project that was started by one person who was inspired by a friend who was fighting for her life. It started as a small personal project and grew to an global event with over 1,100 participants walking in more than 200 different cities. Our goal over the next few years is to have a more powerful and meaningful impact by strengthening our World Cancer Walk community and growing it by reaching out to new people who are affected by cancer as well as provide a platform for cancer charities around the world to connect and support each other.

 

In North Carolina our walk will benefit the Comprehensive Cancer Center at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist.
